Mark R. Warner

Americans are feeling the squeeze. Prices are rising, health care is getting more expensive, and we’ve got a tax system that favors the wealthiest over working families. Instead of working to strengthen the middle class, Donald Trump has handed tax breaks to the wealthy while his tariffs make everyday necessities like groceries, housing and medicine more expensive.

The United States is 3.7 million homes short of meeting basic housing needs. In the Senate, Mark’s plan is designed to expand housing supply and bring down costs by encouraging rehabilitation of existing structures, speeding up permitting, and making it easier for first-time homebuyers to obtain their first mortgage. He has also worked to drive down the cost of child care by addressing the child care labor crisis.

Washington is largely unprepared for the coming AI jobs crisis and we urgently need forward-looking policies to prepare our economy for this new era. Mark believes the AI companies and big corporations that stand to massively profit from this disruption must do their part, including preparing workers for the economy of the future and paying their fair share of the enormous energy demands AI will place on our grid.

Republicans bent the Senate rules to put a conservative super majority on the Supreme Court – with the clear intent to overturn Roe v. Wade, which they did. 2026 is a critical year for abortion access in Virginia because voters will have an opportunity to constitutionally protect abortion access in the Commonwealth. Mark will work to ensure this amendment passes as well as other critical state constitutional amendments to protect marriage equality and the restoration of voting rights.

At the same time, artificial intelligence is changing the way we work, but there’s no serious plan to help workers with the fallout. Without smart, forward-looking policies, AI could end up creating more inequality instead of opportunity.

Mark has seen firsthand the devastation that gun violence has brought to our communities and is working to ensure Virginians can go to school, the grocery store, and their place of worship free from the fear of gun violence. He believes that Americans have the right to own guns, but that we need commonsense solutions like banning assault weapons and background checks to keep our communities safe.

We need an economy that rewards work, not just wealth. That means a fairer tax code, affordable health care, and an innovation agenda that grows the middle class and ensures every worker has a fair shot to succeed.

Mark is running for reelection to continue fighting to protect Virginia’s workforce, bring down costs, and promote innovation across our country. Above all, Mark is driven by a deep belief that every American deserves the same fair shot to build a life for themselves that he was given.
